Tigers drop game they could not afford to lose
A week after sweeping then No. 4 Louisville at Doug Kingsmore Stadium in Clemson, the Tigers were swept by Georgia Tech in Atlanta.
The Yellow Jackets completed the three-game sweep of Clemson with a 9-8 victory Sunday at Russ Chandler Stadium in Atlanta.
The loss drops the Tigers to 22-21 overall and more importantly 15-15 in the ACC. Georgia Tech improved to 24-18 and 18-12 in the ACC.
With rival South Carolina coming to Clemson on Tuesday and with a three-game series at nationally-ranked Florida State next weekend, the Tigers have left themselves very little wiggle room when it comes to the possibility of making the NCAA Tournament.
